He worked as a publicist, writer-playwright. He wrote his articles under the pseudonym "Yukharibashlı". This is due to the fact that he lives in the Yukharibash quarter of Sheki.[5]

In 1905, he wrote the article "Absheron Oil Island", and in 1914, he wrote the play "Our bloods that shed at the gates of courts" and the libretto "The Executioner's Victim".[5] The six-act play "Our Bloody Tears Shed at the Doors of the Courts" describes the arbitrariness and procrastination that took place in the tsar's courts and divans, the arbitrariness of Armenian officials and their insulting views of the people.[6] He wrote the libretto "The Executioner's Victim" in Russian.

For this purpose, he drafted the company's charter consisting of 27 points.[3] The "Hidayat" society opposed religious fanaticism. The society appeals to the people that these customs and ceremonies only harm people. The secretary of the society, Mustafa Bey Alibeyov, wrote an article about this in "Irshad" newspaper. This appeal led to anger by the religious fanatics of the city. Some even demanded the beheading of some members of the community – Gazi Mir Muhammad Karim and Mustafa Bey Alibeyov. Later, they set Muhammad Karim's house door on fire. Mustafa Bey Alibeyov does not leave his house for some time to escape persecution.[8]
